Pratt PT6a-28 680HP modified with Reno race mods along with many more reinforcement upgrades. Now two spars solid tip to tip, no split. Six extra layers of carbon on wing and further reinforced frame and tail. The rudder is 31 percent larger and the nose wheel was moved 14.5" further forward.
Mike Patey I grew up around auto racing . My dad was a huge innovator in the sport of drag racing. My father taught me that most our technology comes from Aero space . I have always had a passion for airplanes and you sir showed me that anything is possible ! I’ll be racing at Bandamer race way in Denver around the the first week in August . I would love to have you as a vip guest for our Snap On Nitro Funny car. Comment back if your interested .
mike, do you put a turbine in to everything? is you washing machine also modded with something like this? just kidding, hope you still have a normal washing machine :D love what you are doing.
All these idiots pointing out the obvious, we know he worked for all his toys or built them. OP was just pointing out how he is living the ultimate life, nothing more.
What a fantastic day for both of you. Even better for Mike who knows he built every bit of the the craft he is flying. I can only imagine how great a day like this is.
Met both of these guys at Oshkosh-2021, along with many of their family members. Great people! Also, for those of you who have planes of any kind, the Tugs they market and sell are phenomenal!!! One of the demo Tugs was ROBOTIC! Unreal. Mark and Mike keep the passion for flying going, as we're all enjoying the videos. And Mike....let's get back to work!
You guys have more fun in a day than some of us have in a lifetime. Great video! And so sorry about Draco; it will have a place in our hearts(with you) forever. Keep up the good work/play!
(Billie's husband is writing this) I had to watch it three times. First time I was laughing too much, second time my daughter was laughing too much, third time I was reading the captions while my wife was laughing. I know first hand what that all feels like, but they have never been up. Gonna have to get in touch with my bush-flying friend and fork over lunch and fuel.
That's cool you brothers do stuff like that together. The only thing me and my brother ever did together involved a Red head and it was ten years apart. It's a good memory.
I'm going to have to come to your hangar and check things out. I love aviation and I'm glad that I can participate vicariously through youtube. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Holy smokes! Just found this video. You guys know how to have fun! Geniuses AND good pilots. That afternoon race took some serious planning to pull off flawlessly and also get good camera footage. Nothing like power to weight ratio in a hot rod!
Hi brothers - thx a million times for sharing your fun! And... you really should start your own TV/Video Production Company - you have the brains and the talent to make it work - I love Mike´s Vlog around DRACO. Your family, the Cowboys your planes and even your take on business are a very, very interesting and I guess you even could handle the "publicity noise". I really hope Mike or Mark (as we know if one gets started with a dream....) starts falling in love creating video and I cant wait to watch you building your first Patey XXtreme airplane and document it. Have fun and be save - greetings from good old Bavaria/Germany
You guys are the epitomy of what one could/should do with wealth, and i applaud you both for your proper application of same. I'm green with envy though :) Good on you.
@Mike Patey Hi, just found your videos. Amazing stuff! I was at ERAU- Prescott, AZ in 1989 when Lancair's owner and chief pilot were there for October Homecoming. I got to fly N320L for about 20 minutes!! (That was the red plane in all the ads back then.) Most amazing plane I've ever been in, never forgot that experience. SO happy to see you do something like this with a Lancair!
Yes, but SOME greedy republicans also contribute too don't forget. Luckily I am not a dem or repub. I am a proud "flip flopper" sicne BOTH parties have their serious problems. I vote with my brain, not just because of my father or grandfather party affiliation.........
That turboprop moves out! Love your vids. I grew up flying with my Dad and was gonna get my license but was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes so cant fly but its fun to watch you guys ! Gonna try for an ultralight some day..
last I checked they're starting to make it so type 1 diabetes only prevents the class 2 medical - i.e. if you can drive professional, you can fly for yourself
Turbulence looks it's going a million miles per hour just when it's on the apron. I don't know how many times I've watched this; I do so whenever it comes up in my feed.
All the scariest warnings one would ever want to hear in the cockpit and all I could do was laugh. Irreverence is one of the least likely things to find in the aeronautical world, but refreshing never the less.
These two brothers make pretty much every other person, including other successful people, look like slackers... LOL! Their gritty intellect, drive and ability to make highly innovative cool stuff with their hands has got to be pretty much unmatched in this era.
Ohhhh this is cool! I do have to admit those planes are both badass, but I was thinking when you was flying around Mount Timpanogos..... I bet landing DRACO on there with skis on would be more of a rush!!!
Too bad there wasn't a camera in the cockpit to show both of your expressions...The captions gave me a good laugh, I bet Mike had a huge grin the entire time, Great video guys. Thank you, Take care.
You guys are awesome! I hope you've added some additional GPWS escape maneuver recurrent training to counter that desensitization you've ingrained by (necessarily) ignoring the terrain warnings while racing. One pro's two cents. Keep up the awesome work, fellas.
i wonder how many Karens called the FAA on them over this. lol
I got the feeling the Pateys got a pretty good relationship with the FAA.
Don't they own the airfield, the air, the runways, and most of the state? LOL jk
Karen don’t climb Timp that time of year.🤣

Nice mike.. I take it u got rid the epic Lt long time ago? I lots work into your epic bodywork and paint
See it pick it's nose up at take off! Awesome.

mike, do you put a turbine in to everything? is you washing machine also modded with something like this?
just kidding, hope you still have a normal washing machine :D
love what you are doing.
How do you go about designing a flight test card for something like turbulence?
You guys have the ultimate life. I love that you are just a regular dude with a shitload of million dollar toys.
They're extremely hard working dudes in which affords them these toys. Unfortunately that's no longer "regular".
They are self made millionaires who built some of those toys they have!
Every successful millionaire I know works hard. From what I see Mike and mark are no exceptions.
As mike says “back to work”
Is this not a simulator?
Looks like a 4k sim
All these idiots pointing out the obvious, we know he worked for all his toys or built them. OP was just pointing out how he is living the ultimate life, nothing more.
pitching 15 degrees up and still climbing at 4000fpm, 200kts indicated. What an absolute monster of a plane.
Look for other some of his videos, one he says it can do between 6-8000ft per min..
You guys are having way too much fun. Glad to see it! :)
says bruno vassel haha :D

Just about the most fun two brothers can have. Great job, guys.
You guys have more fun in a day than some of us have in a lifetime. Great video! And so sorry about Draco; it will have a place in our hearts(with you) forever. Keep up the good work/play!
Thank You for the lively and entertaining presentation..👍
Lee, we love the fact you caught that. "Tommy Boy" rocks
This video had me laughing through most of the footage. Let's watch it again.
I hope you'll fly into Watsonville, CA (KWVI). If I see you I'll buy you lunch. There! You have it in writing.,

A friend had this linked on Facebook, so I had to show it to my wife... way too much fun!
I could watch the Turbulence flyby at 7 minutes into it...........all day!!!!!!!! So cooooool:)
Thank you Mike for putting this video out.
I'm going to have to come to your hangar and check things out. I love aviation and I'm glad that I can participate vicariously through youtube. Thanks for the awesome vid!
I wanted to see Turbulence flying for a long time . Just amazing !!!!
This is on a whole other level of AWESOME!!!!
Hot rod with a prop vs the grocery getter. Great fun to watch! Thanks!
This has to be the coolest video about having fun in airplanes I've ever seen! I can't believe I hadn't seen it until today! WOW! What a video!
Holy smokes! Just found this video. You guys know how to have fun! Geniuses AND good pilots. That afternoon race took some serious planning to pull off flawlessly and also get good camera footage. Nothing like power to weight ratio in a hot rod!
You two have all the fun! Keep it up! Thanks for sharing!

The best video of this type I've seen. More please. Thanks.
You guys have taken ‘bigger boys,bigger toys’ to a whole new level. Congrats
You guys are the epitomy of what one could/should do with wealth, and i applaud you both for your proper application of same.
I'm green with envy though :)
Good on you.
Just found this..makes a crusty old airline pilot go weak at the knees (the good one..the bad one hurts anyway!)

These guys have the most fun. Back country, turbo prop, jet and heli? Don’t think it gets better.
Being rich looks like a lot of fun.
Look at the frown and scowl on the face 90% of the time that is currently in the White House.....
They should be racing $1,000,000 planes instead.
Yes, but SOME greedy republicans also contribute too don't forget. Luckily I am not a dem or repub. I am a proud "flip flopper" sicne BOTH parties have their serious problems. I vote with my brain, not just because of my father or grandfather party affiliation.........
The rules were to follow all the FARS is the double takeoff legal?
Rich is a relative word...Money comes with Passion, Love what you do and the money will follow. Passion is very hard to determine in life..
I would love to be apart of your family. I'm 48 looking for adoption, lol
I am only 46. I bet you want the adopted child to be as young as possible? So choose me! :)
Beautiful scenery, thankyou
All you guys have the best video blogs ever. I once ran with scissors, i know, crazy
I didn't even know this is legal. How fun. Just like when we are boating with all our friends side by side, you guys are doing the same in the air.
Grin starting to hurt now LoL really enjoyed the race thanks for taking us along.
I'm up in Ogden and just found your videos. Keep on filming! I'll be listening for those turbo props above.
So awesome. What a cool way to spend some time hanging out with your brother
That turboprop moves out! Love your vids. I grew up flying with my Dad and was gonna get my license but was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes so cant fly but its fun to watch you guys ! Gonna try for an ultralight some day..
last I checked they're starting to make it so type 1 diabetes only prevents the class 2 medical - i.e. if you can drive professional, you can fly for yourself
but also get the book Diabetes Solutuon by Richard Bernstein so you know how to stabilise your blood sugars
Inspirational story and badass planes. 👍🏼
That Lancair is Sick!! In a good way!
Crazy! Beautiful airplanes and beautiful scenery! Looks so much fun.
Turbulence looks it's going a million miles per hour just when it's on the apron. I don't know how many times I've watched this; I do so whenever it comes up in my feed.
I could listen to that song all-day. PULL UP STOP PULL UP STOP PULL UP REALLY PULL UP Grrrrr LoL
Normally I don't much care for turbulence. (While flying) But that is one gorgeous plane!
Can't wait to move there and just sit at the end of the field and watch you guys fly all day. Great video.
Wow, they made FSX into a real thing!
This is still hands down in my top five most favorite vids.
Mouth still wide open 16 min later. SICK!
All the scariest warnings one would ever want to hear in the cockpit and all I could do was laugh. Irreverence is one of the least likely things to find in the aeronautical world, but refreshing never the less.
Hard work pays off. Specially Mike i have heard him say he only sleeps for 3 hours. Very inspiring
At 3.1k likes this has to be one of the most underrated videos on the intertubes. Excellent stuff.
Gotta give props to you guys for some awesome videos
Nicely done - that looked like a lot of fun!
A most excellent use of less than 10 minutes!!!
Clear at a glance who's got the better power/weight ratio...
This is the life. Racing brothers. The view from the Robin looks like it is from xplane. Unreal. Awesome Mike.
That Lancair is a beast. My God.
Awesome video! That looked like a blast
These two brothers make pretty much every other person, including other successful people, look like slackers... LOL! Their gritty intellect, drive and ability to make highly innovative cool stuff with their hands has got to be pretty much unmatched in this era.
so awesome to see you fly together in awesome aircraft. so fun
I love the N707MM, and crazy with its speed and its 🛩️amazing sound 😎
WOW! I never had a brother. Love seeing y'all enjoy each other. Riding Harleys is like flying but you have to deal with the cops which is a downer.
Great fun, I only manage that on a flight sim, but still love it.
Turbulence is one cool airplane.
i definitely need to visit those mountains!
Sweet video love Spanish air port flew there once with a buddy working on his pilots license
It would be a gas to live around there and watch these guys fly.
Had to laugh were you trying set a record for the most warnings in one flight 😂
Ohhhh this is cool! I do have to admit those planes are both badass, but I was thinking when you was flying around Mount Timpanogos..... I bet landing DRACO on there with skis on would be more of a rush!!!
I've never seen you guys before, but please adopt me! Love your sense of play. Blue skies.
Amazing scenery!
Very nice ! I love the part where “auto roger”starts moaning about detecting mountains.. you wish for a silence-auto-roger switch.
you mean george? or bitching bobby?
Soo cool... Great video thanks guys👍😎
What's the bailout procedure for the Lancair? If you can't jettison the canopy, it's gonna be realllly hard to open in flight!
Something tells me the Patey brothers could never sit still in class !!
Years ago but WTF..... AWESOME, that's what !!!
Too bad there wasn't a camera in the cockpit to show both of your expressions...The captions gave me a good laugh, I bet Mike had a huge grin the entire time, Great video guys.
Thank you,
Take care.
These dudes just playing with their aircrafts like they're GTA5 ... 😎
turbulance is just a missle. what a blast it would be to go for a ride. the patey's just have too much fun when they play
When youre bored in GTA and say "lets go to the airport"
Beautiful Country 😊🎉
Any kind of formation flying must be a blast!
LMAO That Wasn't Even A Race, More Like A Chase! You Both Have Way Too Damned Much Moneys!!! Thanks
we got some multi million dollar aircraft lets take them out and race em
Well I Gots A $200 Certified Pylon Racing 25e R/C 200mph Plane That I Would Kick Your Ass With For A Bit... LOL
Love the "Tommy Boy" reference in the captions. :)
Can’t read that in any voice other than Chris Farley’s!
Frigging Awesome!! Love it! Thanks! I cant wipe the Grin off my face!!! I'm going flying in my Glasair at a respectable 175kts. :)
Great flying guys, you both seem to be cool as can be, hope to get to meet you both someday.
Wow Wow Wow.. what a fun you are into !! .. Cheers.
Wow. How kool was that. I cannot imagine flying in that Muscle Jet. A Rocket with wings.
What a cool vid. You guys are a riot!
You guys are amazing!
Love it.. thanks Guys!
I excpected the turboprop having advantage during the first 30 seconds...
🤣🤣🤣👍
You guys are awesome! I hope you've added some additional GPWS escape maneuver recurrent training to counter that desensitization you've ingrained by (necessarily) ignoring the terrain warnings while racing. One pro's two cents. Keep up the awesome work, fellas.
Really makes my PA-28 look like its standing still in the sky!
Shhhhh don't tell the FAA about this!
What's the observed Vmax of the Lancair?
Blitzvogel naaa... they were 250 knots or less below 10k the whole time!
‘Chopper in strong 3rd place".....🤣
Nice. Is the Lancair pressurized? does it have oxygen?
Not pressurized, but has oxygen.
Looks like one epic Saturday morning to me! 👍
What airport is that, i live in Heber, Utah (KHCR) and if that is where i think it is, dang, your plane is fast.
How on earth do you file a flight plan for all that?
